New Ben Affleck Batman Will Be Seasoned Veteran! Says WB CEO Kevin Tsujihara! could he have Robin and Batfamily?

We get our first official character description for the new Ben Affleck Batman from Warner Bros. CEO Kevin Tsujihara.Tsujihara gave the
new Batman description at the Bank of America Merrill Lynch Media investor gathering.

The new Batman will be "tired and weary and seasoned and been doing it for awhile" as
well as adding that Ben Affleck is "perfect" for the film that Zack Snyder is
doing.

Regarding Man
of Steel, Tsujihara stated that the studio "could not
be happier" about its box office
performance, currently at $660 million worldwide, adding, “we think it’s the
perfect springboard for Batman and Superman."

Tsujihara also noted there will be “a lot of
announcements” surrounding DC
Comics with specific mention of their three animated shows.

The new Batman being a
seasoned veteran seems to contradict
earlier statements made by writer David Goyer who previously stated the following
about Man of Steel: "There are other
superheroes in this world. But I don’t know that they’ve come forward yet. The
idea is that Superman is the first one. There might be people helping people,
but not in costumes, and that Superman comes forward and announces himself to
the world. In him announcing himself, he’s the one that changes things."

With the new Ben Affleck Batman having done "it for
a while" it suggests the Gotham City Caped Crusader has obviously been around a long
time. It should be interesting to see how they deal with the fact that no Batman
was mentioned in Man of Steel (where was
Batman?) or made an appearance for that matter. It may also suggest that a
full-blown origin story for Batman is not in the cards (as Nolan just did it with
Batman Begins).

It remains to be seen just how much Batman.The sequel to "Man of
Steel" goes into production next year for a July 17, 2015 release
starring Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Amy Adams,
Laurence Fishburne
and Diane Lane.
